Top National Library Hotel Reviews

James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor

8/10 Good

"I recently travelled to Wellington for two nights to attend WoW. The James Cook was very conveniently located for this event and was only a quick walk to the event venue. One of the lifts down to Lambton Quay was undergoing maintenance for the three days we were there and this did create some significant queues and wait times around busy periods. The room was a good size and generally clean, although a deep clean of the room is needed as there were definitely areas of the room that were noticeably neglected - especially under the bench in the bathroom and the corners of the rooms, under furniture etc. I was also disappointed that although this is a hotel, there was no mini-bar. There was a mini-fridge but it was empty and after a long day and a long flight, this would have been welcomed. The noise levels from other guests in the corridors was also very noticeable, so there are some noise-proofing improvements that could be made. Otherwise a generally pleasant stay."

Travelodge Hotel Wellington

8/10 Good

"Overall, good value for money. Room was spacious, bed very comfortable and view of city was nice. Shower was strong and hot. Location was excellent. I wish reception had warned us at check in that the tvs only got limited Sky and NO Freeview, as we spent ages one evening trying to watch our favourite TV1 programme after a tiring day. Quite frustrating!"

InterContinental Wellington by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great hotel in the middle of Wellington ticks all the boxes for me so it’s a perfect place to stay"

ibis Wellington

8/10 Good

"Hotelwad"

Quest 256 Lambton

8/10 Good

"The staff were excellent- very helpful and efficient- absolutely first rate. The hotel is in a good location for shopping and WOW. The room amenities are good - very nice having a tumble drier (for the towels)! No view, but didn’t expect one. No bar or restaurant but don’t need one as so many great places to eat and drink nearby. A nice, functional hotel in a great location and wonderful staff."

DoubleTree by Hilton Wellington

8/10 Good

"Clean but small twin bed room. Would have been much better with a coffee machine but loved the bathroom and lighting the room. Parking kind of painful but got the hang of it and was then ok. Nice vibe."

Gilmer Apartment Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice, enjoyable stay, walking distance to most things downtown."

Copthorne Hotel Wellington Oriental Bay

8/10 Good

"Older hotel, which is showing its age (dings, chipped paint). Best feature is proximity to CBD and the Harbourside walk. Not many people staying there but we didn’t get a Harbourview room. $30/day parking. Quiet. Small fridge and kettle, instant coffees/hit choc/teas, no microwave or other way to warm food. Small balcony with views of surrounding hills/neighborhoods. Good wifi."

WQ Wellington Quarter

8/10 Good

"Good location , walkable to the middle of the city. Good restaurant and bar. Rooms are quite loud from the freeway and a bit hot and stuffy .. could definitely do with AC . Staff are friendly and the prices are reasonable ."
